Notes

Printed label on verso has poem: "Utah's Best Crop, by William Willis, Tune, Rhine Wine Charley. Utah's best crop is cropping out, and running round and round about, some are here, and some are there, some are dark, and some are fair; some are fat, and some are lean, some are smart as e'er was seen. Every way we turn our eye lots of boys and girls we spy. Cho. - Every way we turn our eye lots of boys and girls we spy; Utah is the promised land to carry out the great command. Some wonder how it came to be, the children swarming, as we see; to me the reason's very clear why we've so many children here; the Mormons ever are on hand to carry out the great command, 'Increase and multiply, and reign' throughout our mother Earth's domain. It looks to me, where'er I go, like some great mammoth baby show; the sight does every one astound, as though we had been borrowing 'round; but, now, it is not surely so, it's just the same where'er we go; the boys and girls in force are found in every place, the valleys 'round."; Title from lettering reproduced in photographic print.; R7110039654
